I hesitated but I finally made the move. I was tired of feeling helpless against cough of my son. Since it was he had no cough, moistening is regulated by the hygrometer provided. The unit is completely silent and we have not had a large puddle on the bottom. As a precaution, we still put a towel underneath. It works great against by water stagnating inside to finish. To avoid limestone, think out empty or use demineralised water.
